State-level athlete accuses fellow participant of rape
Dehradun: A state-level athlete was allegedly raped by a fellow athlete after giving her a sedative-laced cold drink while the two were in Dehradun to participate in a sporting event in Sept 2024. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The incident came to light after the athlete lodged a police complaint at Dehradun's Kotwali police station two days ago. A police officer said the crime took place on Sept 20 last year. The accused athlete, a resident of Pithoragarh, is currently living in Rudrapur, US Nagar district. In her complaint, the 22-year-old survivor claimed that while participating in a sporting event in the Uttarakhand capital, the two were staying in a 'dharmshala'. The accused contacted her after obtaining her phone number from a common WhatsApp group, and on the night of Sept 20, he entered her room on the pretext of offering a cold drink. Unsuspecting, she drank it and fell unconscious. He then violated her after forcefully taking her to his room, and recorded the crime on his phone. He continued to rape her for three more days, blackmailing her with the video and threatening to circulate it among other athletes, the complainant stated. The accused also threatened to kill her when she told him she would approach the police, and shared the objectionable video with his friends. She then filed a police complaint. Investigation officer, sub-inspector, Neema (who goes by her first name only) said a case was registered under BNS sections 64 (rape) and 351 (3) (criminal intimidation). "A probe into the matter has been initiated and the accused will be apprehended soon," she added.

Neema launches Dynamic Routing
Neema, a pioneering global cross-border payments network catering to financial institutions, launched today Dynamic Routing, an innovative technology designed to enhance every transaction by maximizing both success rates and cost efficiency. 0 This content is provided by an external author without editing by Finextra. It expresses the views and opinions of the author. Neema's extensive cross-border payments network empowers financial institutions across the globe to effortlessly process transactions in over 120 countries. It accommodates the most widely used payment methods and currencies specific to each destination, ensuring that users experience a localized payment environment. The introduction of Dynamic Routing further extends Neema's vision of building a globally connected financial ecosystem. Traditionally, the majority of cross-border transactions between banks have been facilitated through the SWIFT network, a system that has linked financial institutions since the 1970s. Despite its extensive use, the foundational protocol is now outdated, resulting in transactions that are often costly, sluggish, and susceptible to errors. Transfers frequently take several days to finalize, with many experiencing delays or even being lost in transit. When funds are transferred between banks in different nations, the SWIFT network relies on a series of correspondent (intermediary) banks to execute the transfer. This creates a singular route from sender to recipient, typically involving one or more intermediary banks. Consequently, this leads to elevated fees, protracted settlement times, and a significant lack of transparency throughout the transaction process. Dynamic Routing, along with Neema's vast network of financial partners, enables a smarter method for global money movement. Rather than depending on a single pathway, Dynamic Routing establishes multiple real-time routes between countries. Each transaction it powers undergoes instant analysis, taking into account factors such as exchange rates, speed, and reliability to identify the optimal route. Every payment is personalized, with transfers between the same countries often utilizing different, optimized routes. Additionally, Neema's AI-driven security infrastructure and expansive international reach provide enhanced visibility into coverage and technical vulnerabilities, allowing the company to effectively address potential gaps while offering one of the most robust quality assurance systems in the industry. 'At Neema, our primary mission is to address the genuine challenges that businesses encounter when transferring funds across international borders,' said Moshe Kimhi, CEO of Neema. 'The introduction of Dynamic Routing represents a significant advancement in this realm — enhancing the speed, cost-effectiveness, and reliability of international payments. This innovation is instrumental in empowering businesses to expand and function more efficiently within the complexities of the global economy.'

Meet Neema: Sharjah Safari's newborn African Savannah elephant
A little wonder with a mighty presence… Sharjah Safari just got a little bit wilder – in the best way possible. The African Savannah Elephant family has welcomed a brand-new baby girl, and she's already stealing hearts. Her name? Neema – a Swahili word meaning 'grace' or 'blessing' – and it couldn't be more fitting. Who is Neema? Born right here at Sharjah Safari, Neema is the newest member of the elephant herd and a shining example of the park's ongoing commitment to conservation. Her arrival is a big moment – not just for her elephant family, but for all of us watching from the outside. She lives in a habitat designed to mirror the wild – wide, open spaces, plenty of mud baths, and all the room she needs to grow, play, and be an elephant. About African Savannah elephants Common name: African Savannah Elephant Scientific name: Loxodonta africana Diet: Strictly plant-based (think grass, leaves, bark) Size: Up to 24 feet long and 13 feet tall Weight: Up to 7 tons Lifespan: Can reach 70 years in the wild They're the largest land animals on Earth – and also among the most intelligent, social, and emotionally complex.

The park spans over 800 hectares and is home to more than 120 species.
